SkyratBot e05cca4ab4 [MIRROR] Rework job food/alchohol benefits into livers (#2648)
* Rework job food/alchohol benefits into livers  (#55721)

By moving the "special behaviour" of something like security officers
eating donuts, or engineers losing radiation by drinking Screwdrivers,
into traits on the liver, this makes the "origin" of that behaviour more
clearly defined, rather than something that's attached to the mind of
the person. (For example, now if a wizard mindswaps into a Security
Officer, they too can now digest donuts good.)

Having this behaviour be partially visible to the more medically
inclined members of the station (like doctors, and the chaplain for
"entrails reading mystic" themes), means that a dismembered liver tells
a story to those who know how to read it.

Some jobs have more "benefits" than others, for example the only thing
that the liver of a Quartermaster gives them is a sense of inadequacy
when consuming royal carpet.

Clowns having livers that honk make them easier to identify, and plays
into the retconned "bike horns are clown livers lore"? Also, why not cut
out a clown's liver then honk them with it? You monster.

Datum Component System (DCS)

Concept

Loosely adapted from /vg/. This is an entity component system for adding behaviours to datums when inheritance doesn't quite cut it. By using signals and events instead of direct inheritance, you can inject behaviours without hacky overloads. It requires a different method of thinking, but is not hard to use correctly. If a behaviour can have application across more than one thing. Make it generic, make it a component. Atom/mob/obj event? Give it a signal, and forward it's arguments with a SendSignal() call. Now every component that want's to can also know about this happening.

See this thread for an introduction to the system as a whole.
